New Year's craft "Santa Claus's house". House for Santa Claus Winter crafts house of Santa Claus

Having done this work, I’ll say that if it weren’t for the soil, the result would be much worse, so I still recommend purchasing it if you don’t have it. Or you can use white gouache... a lot of white gouache. But it must be dried well, otherwise when you apply a layer of already colored paint, it may mix.
Be sure to use a sharp knife so that the cuts are even and not torn. I did not have a very sharp knife and the result was torn edges that I had to sand to improve the look.
To do everything quickly, do not lose everything while the house dries in glue and in the ground, do stuff!
Before you start doing, go through your bottomholes =) to understand what and how you can do from what you have =)
The number of cells can be anything, you can do it like me, you can do it like a calendar, the numbers do not have to be from the 16th to the 31st
(2 weeks before NY), it can be, for example, from 31 to 10, in general it can be any numbers that you want to make a holiday for the child (or who you will do there))))

And... legend... what to tell the child?
We said that we made a house for Santa Claus, who will arrive on the night of December 15-16 and will live in our house until the new year. For every day that he lives with Ans, in gratitude, he gives us a small gift. Once a day, you can come up and open the door, taking a gift.

That's all! I hope you find it useful and... Happy New Year ;)

On New Year's Eve, you can do with the children beautiful house Santa Claus, and the child will be happy to show imagination when creating a miniature model of this fabulous architectural structure. See how festive and elegant things made by children can be. Ideas for souvenirs winter holiday, of course, a lot. Making snowmen Christmas decorations, snowflakes, bells, socks for gifts, Christmas trees, decorate champagne bottles and glasses.

Make a house of Santa Claus with your own hands - original and unusual idea. Any version of such crafts looks very beautiful, because it is a composition of several items. Usually the hut is complemented by a fence, snowdrifts around and, of course, a figurine of the owner of the dwelling.

Materials and tools

So, you have decided to create a house of Santa Claus. The craft is made from simple and affordable things that every home definitely has. If something is missing, everything can be easily bought at the nearest store. To work, you will need the following:

Cardboard or ready-made box, corresponding in size to the figure of Santa Claus;

Ruler, pencil, scissors or stationery knife, glue, paints and a container of water;

Brush or sponge (sponge), decorative paper (silver, mother-of-pearl, holographic, velvet);

Imitation of snow (cotton wool, cotton pads, artificial snow), decorative elements (tinsel, sequins, sequins, white or silver beads);

Figured hole punchers in the form of snowflakes, stars (optional), sticks for the fence;

Sculptures of Santa Claus and Snow Maiden, Christmas trees, snowmen and other winter holiday attributes.

Modern materials from sets for children's creativity allow you to create very interesting and spectacular crafts. Work with beautiful cardboard, such as corrugated with a metallic print, curly scissors or hole punches, is very impressive for children. Such activity develops imagination, perseverance and stimulates the manifestation of interest in artistic and design work.

How to make a base for Santa's house

To make a strong blank for a model of an architectural structure, you can act in three ways:

Take a box of a suitable size, cut windows and doors on the side surfaces, build a roof from the upper plane;

Make all the details (walls, roof slopes) from a sheet of cardboard and glue them together;

Draw a blank on cardboard in the form of a sweep diagram, which will later be folded into a three-dimensional house.

When using the first method, it will be more convenient to first disassemble (stick) the bottom of the box and fold the structure itself so that you do not have to draw windows, doors and cut them out. Here, the main thing is to find a workpiece of a suitable size. If it is, it will greatly simplify the process of creating crafts. You can start decorating almost immediately.

The second method, the simplest and most understandable for a child: I drew one wall, the second, etc., cut everything out and glued it together. In this option, it is important to carefully and firmly connect the parts so that the house does not fall apart later and does not look like a sloping hut.

The third method is the most reliable, but here, without the help of an adult, a child is unlikely to cope. Here, you need to show design skills by imagining how to assemble a three-dimensional thing from a flat sheet using folds. As a sample, you can take a box of any size that has been disassembled to a flat blank and draw a template of the scale that suits you. If there is no extra box that can be pasted, find on the Internet a drawing of any square or rectangular package and use this scheme.

New Year's crafts should look festive and elegant. To do this, it makes sense to work in the following sequence:

When you have made cardboard blanks, paint them in suitable colors;

Cut out platbands, doors from decorative paper and glue them in place;

From corrugated cardboard make strips and stick on the corners of the structure. This will be an imitation of logs;

You can cover the roof with cotton pads;

Fill the space around the house with cotton wool, white napkins soaked in PVA or other material that imitates snow;

Make snowflakes and stars with a figured hole punch. Stick them on the house;

Collect a fence from sticks;

Arrange the figures of New Year's characters, Christmas trees;

Decorate the craft with sparkles, glue poured beads or sequins.

In a word, decorating a house is an exciting creative process. Fantasize to your health!

How to make a Santa Claus house in the form of a collage

If you don't have the time or enough cardboard to build a three-dimensional house, you can do the same in relief using the appliqué technique. Let the child first make a drawing of "Santa Claus's House" on a dense basis, and then cut and paste together the same decor that was described in the instructions for decorating the three-dimensional structure. This option is much faster and easier to do. By the way, with such a collage, in which a drawing and an application are combined, you can decorate a New Year's card.

As you can see, you can make a beautiful house of Santa Claus with your own hands in both volumetric and embossed versions. Both methods allow you to create spectacular things that are suitable as a task for children in kindergarten or school, and also become great gift from a child, for example, for grandparents by the New Year.

There is no doubt that Santa Claus - main character new year celebrations. It is his miracles and gifts that children are waiting for, they send letters, postcards, and under the Christmas tree for a fairy-tale wizard, a response is often hidden. children's giftNew Year's craft. Santa Claus himself often becomes a character embodied in various types creativity.

DIY origami

A person who is fond of origami will not have questions about how to make small paper figures in the form of Santa Claus. Choosing among the proposed schemes the simplest and most understandable option, make Christmas figurine even an inexperienced person in this type of creativity can make paper out of paper. Santa Claus, made with his own hands from a small piece of colored paper, will be an excellent addition to the main gift or postcard, and will also be a wonderful sign of attention.


Felt crafts

Felt is a very practical and convenient material for creativity. Felt toys are not only colorful and pleasant to the touch: due to the fact that the details of the pattern can not only be sewn on, but also glued to each other using hot glue or a glue stick, the creation is also suitable for children.

In order to make felt Santa Claus with your own hands, you will need:

  • red felt:
  • flesh-colored felt;
  • white felt;
  • floss white;
  • needle;
  • synthetic winterizer or cotton wool;
  • pencil;
  • scissors.

Progress (step by step):

  • Print or redraw the product pattern on paper, cut out the details.
  • Bend the red felt in half, use a pencil to transfer the largest detail of the pattern (in the form of a drop) onto it and cut it out. Sew both parts of the part together, leaving a centimeter segment unsewn. Through the resulting hole, fill the product with padding polyester or cotton wool (for convenience, you can use a pencil), and then sew up the hole.
  • From flesh-colored felt, cut 1 piece in the form of an oval. This is the face of the future figurine. After placing the part in the desired place, attach white felt parts on top of it: a beard and a cap frill. The frill should be stitched around the entire perimeter, and the beard should be sewn only in the place of its contact with the face of the figure.
  • Cut out the remaining details from white felt: mustache and pompom hats (2 pcs.). Sew the mustache over the beard, sewing the detail along the top edge only.
  • Cut out a small circle (nose) from body felt and sew it over the mustache.
  • Insert the end of the Santa Claus hat between the two parts of the pompom and sew them together.
  • Embroider or draw eyes. Fasten the thread in the form of a loop.

Various decorative elements will decorate and diversify the craft. Santa Claus can be made not only in the traditional red and white colors, but also have a blue or green suit.

bottle decoration

It's no secret that the most versatile New Year's gift for people not in a close circle of communication is champagne (or other alcohol) and chocolate (or sweets). The original Santa Claus, hand-sewn from colorful materials, will make the gift unusual and memorable.

Making crafts from bottles is also suitable for junior groups kindergarten: for this, it is enough to fill transparent bottles with red paper, glue a cotton beard and plastic eyes on top and complete the image of the main New Year's wizard with a red sock or paper cap imitating the character's hat.

Craft from cotton pads

Cotton pads and cotton wool are the easiest material to work in kindergarten. Children can stick cotton pads (or balls) on templates prepared in advance by adults or make crafts exclusively with their own hands, first painting it and then decorating it with cotton wool details. These can be snowflakes cut out by a figured hole punch, Father Frost's wadded beard, as well as details of his costume.

Identical templates decorated with details from cotton pads and cotton wool, in accordance with the tastes and skills of each child, will be wonderful and different gifts that children can take home and give to their loved ones.

For creativity in older groups of kindergarten, more painstaking and complex work is suitable - creating crafts from cotton buds. Sticks fastened with glue will be a good building material for creating fabulous winter landscapes.


Santa Claus from plasticine

For children of older groups of kindergarten, as well as junior schoolchildren modeling from plasticine will become simple. Depending on the ability of the child, you can choose step by step instructions products of varying degrees of complexity: from the simplest to figurines with big amount small details.

Santa Claus from plasticine will become the main character of fabulous winter scenes and New Year's stories.


Figures from threads

Creating a fairy-tale character from woolen threads is a laborious process that requires not so much special needlework skills as it takes a lot of time and painstaking work. However, the resulting figurines have a very "homey" feel to them, evoking a sense of cosiness and warmth.


Santa Claus from paper

Paper crafts are extremely diverse not only in type, but also in the types of techniques used in the process of their creation. Paper of only two colors (green and red), rolled and fixed in the form of cones and supplemented with small details (a face with a beard, Christmas balls) will be the basis for creating a beautiful

It's time to start actively preparing for the upcoming holidays, and therefore my today's master class will be devoted to how to make such a house with surprises or, in other words, an advent calendar, although, of course, it is not quite right to call it a calendar, because. there are no numbers on it, but this is not the main thing here;)

Before you start, I’ll say that it’s really possible to do it in 1 day (and if you get help, it’s even faster) and it’s much easier than it seems!


Initially, I wanted to make such a house out of wood, but as always, without doing anything, I decided to get by with cardboard. I'm lucky! I found a perfectly matching puzzle box! If you do not have one, just assemble something similar from separate pieces of cardboard

Let's deal with the bottom of the box first. Let's draw it into the number of squares (future cells) we need, leaving a place for the "scene" on top. We cut off the upper edge of the box from its bottom and cut the resulting strip in the middle. this is our future roof, which we lengthen and connect with a strip of cardboard of the same width.

Now we need to make a grid for the cells. To do this, we cut the cardboard into strips of the desired length and width, then at the intersections we make cuts to the middle of the strip. Assemble your mesh to make sure the locations and depths of the cuts are correct.
If you, like me, use cardboard "from under something", prime it, after which it can be decorated. Personally, I covered everything with decoupage paper, but because I'm far from being a great decoupage artist, I didn't photograph the process;))

Now the lid of the box. It must be cut off in that place. where will the "scene" be, so that when you close the box again you can see it;)
Again we draw places for cells and, most importantly, doors! Then we make cuts, taking into account how you see the opening of the doors. I cut like this. that would be bent like a regular door, but it can open up and down!

We assemble, or rather close our box, having previously smeared the sides of the box with glue, and wrap it tightly with threads for better pressing. We leave to dry.


And also, while our box dries, we cut out a triangle from cardboard to close the hole and glue it. I glued it on masking tape, but you can also glue it with plain paper.

By the way, the photo shows that a window has already been cut out in the box (as well as a door that is not visible here). It is really better to cut them out during the assembly process of the box.

Inside the "scene" we make the floor, I also fixed it with masking tape.

When the glue is dry (make sure everything sticks), prime the box well. There are already 2 layers of soil in the photo! But there are almost no traces of the previous pattern of the box =)

Now that preparatory stage finished (yes, yes, it was just a preparatory stage, because everyone can assemble a box with a house, but what next to do with it!?)))) let's move on to composing the decor.

I always advocate using the materials already in the house, the main thing is to understand how best to use them!)

Having rummaged around with my child in the designer, I found excellent windows, a door and a fence! Now we need to give them the right look! Because the plastic does not really like to be painted, I recommend that you first prime it and then paint it in as many layers as you need for beautiful view(I needed 2 coats)

It's all about the little things! Therefore, we will make such a pleasant trifle as a Christmas wreath on the door. To do this, we will make a ring out of wire, wrap it with a strip of green corrugation (fix the tip with glue), make a bow and glue it to the ring.

I will not modestly say this detail, I consider it my find! With the help of beads and buttons we will make door handles.
We glue the "moment" bead to the button and when the glue dries, cover them with gold paint.

In order to make a Christmas tree in a house, I used a green corrugation, a light bulb as a base and plasticine, into which a light bulb is stuck to obtain stability. By the way, and here I was lucky, I found plasticine in a child, which becomes hard when it dries, but, of course, such plasticine is not necessary, the main thing is just to fix the light bulb.

The corrugation really does not like water (and everything liquid), so I fastened it with adhesive tape and only the very top I already glued with glue.


Sled! What is Santa Claus' house without Santa Claus? and what a frost without a sleigh!
We take matches and cut off the sulfur, put the sticks into the parts we need and coat WELL with PVA, when everything is dry (leave for an hour, to be sure), we collect the parts together and paint over them.

Again, I was lucky, I found a deer (broken) in toys from Kinder Surprise, but since there is a sleigh, a deer is also needed. The deer was brown, I dyed it gray, then serrated it, painted the antlers gold and sprinkled it with gold glitters (sparkles).

We need thick cardboard, cut out the squares of the desired size, glue them, glue the sides with a strip of paper and ... draw a fireplace =)
For greater beauty, you can cut socks out of felt =)

Glue something transparent to the back wall to create the effect of glass. I glued the cellophane in which flowers are usually wrapped.

We glue corrugated cardboard to the roof. First you need to paint the cardboard to match the paper. We cut snow from fleece and also glue it =)

We glue the window, the door, if necessary, make "jambs" =)))

It's time to arrange and glue everything that we thought up

Having done this work, I’ll say that if it weren’t for the soil, the result would be much worse, so I still recommend purchasing it if you don’t have it. Or you can use white gouache... a lot of white gouache. But it must be dried well, otherwise when you apply a layer of already colored paint, it may mix.
Be sure to use a sharp knife so that the cuts are even and not torn. I did not have a very sharp knife and the result was torn edges that I had to sand to improve the look.
To do everything quickly, do not lose everything while the house dries in glue and in the ground, do stuff!
Before you start doing, go through your bottomholes =) to understand what and how you can do from what you have =)
The number of cells can be anything, you can do it like me, you can do it like a calendar, the numbers do not have to be from the 16th to the 31st
(2 weeks before NY), it can be, for example, from 31 to 10, in general it can be any numbers that you want to make a holiday for the child (or who you will do there))))

And... legend... what to tell the child?
We said that we made a house for Santa Claus, who will arrive on the night of December 15-16 and will live in our house until the new year. For every day that he lives with Ans, in gratitude, he gives us a small gift. Once a day, you can come up and open the door, taking a gift.

That's all! I hope you find it useful and... Happy New Year ;)

The New Year is a magical and fabulous time, the onset of which children and adults are looking forward to. It is customary to decorate your houses beautifully for the holiday, and you can do this using not only toys purchased in the store. You can make various and very beautiful crafts with your own hands, for example, a decorative winter house.

Snow-covered hut of Santa Claus

The decor looks very impressive natural material. Try to make a snow-covered hut. Collect in advance a sufficient number of medium-thick twigs, rinse them well and dry them. Prepare the base - glue the walls of the house out of cardboard or use a box that is suitable in size. Windows and doors can be cut or made using the appliqué technique. Paste the prepared frame with twigs, vertically or horizontally, cutting off the appropriate length. Make a separate roof from two identical rectangles or one bent in the middle. Move on to the decor: the winter house should be all snowy or at least covered with frost. Use for this white paint, foam shavings, cotton wool or glitter. If you don't have sprigs handy, you can replace them with popsicle sticks or

New Year's house from waste material

You may be surprised, but actually do interesting crafts it is possible from the most banal materials that can be found today in any home. Empty plastic bottles and food trays, food cartons - we throw away all this every day. Beautiful craft"Winter can be made from just such waste material. As a base, take a cardboard box from milk or kefir, the lower part from plastic bottle or a small square container. Interesting idea- use bushings from toilet paper or tubes from wallpaper. If necessary, cut the selected blank, then glue it with white paper or paint it with paint. When the facade of the future "building" dries, you can make a roof, windows and a door. Your winter house will turn out to be more interesting if you combine several design techniques at once and use different materials for decoration.

How to make snowdrifts?

We figured out how to make winter houses with our own hands, now it’s worth talking about decorating and decorating crafts. Souvenirs “seen” or overgrown with snow on the sides look interesting. How to make such snow caps at home? This is easier than it might seem at first glance: pour PVA glue into some kind of container and moisten a thin layer of cotton wool in it. Squeeze out the excess and spread a piece of mass on the base, gently pressing. In this way, you can decorate the entire roof, the stand on which the house stands, or form real snowdrifts near the walls and porch. In a similar technique, you can try to create from dense white paper napkins. house "can be snowed in another way. Coat the base with transparent glue and sprinkle liberally with sugar, salt or semolina. After creating a snow cover, leave the craft to dry for at least 4 hours, and even better - for the whole night.

Important Composition Details

A snow-covered decorative house will look more spectacular if you place it on a stand and decorate it with decorative elements. As a base, you can use a piece of cardboard or a lid from cardboard box with sides. The finished winter house must be glued to the stand, after which we proceed to create the surrounding landscape. Make a snow cover using one of the techniques described above. The composition can be added christmas tree or a snow-covered tree. You can also make a beautiful veranda, ladders, benches, maybe even sleds or skis. Any decorative elements can be cut out of cardboard and painted as you wish. snow house with a yard, you can also add figures of snowmen, fairy-tale characters. Try making figurines out of cotton wool, fabric, and cardboard. If you have enough free time and patience, you can even build an entire winter town and populate it with magical characters.

Souvenir or useful item?

Minimalism is in fashion today, and many people try not to purchase too many beautiful decorative items that are not capable of fulfilling some practical function. Can the craft "Winter House" be not only beautiful and decorative, but also useful? Why not? Do not be too lazy to make the roof removable and beautifully decorate the interior of the base box - and you will get an unusual box or even a small hiding place. An interesting idea - to arrange in new year style tea house. This craft is easy to make from a liter package of kefir, milk or juice. All you need is to wash the workpiece well and dry, and then decorate to your liking. It is not difficult to make such a tea winter house with your own hands. The craft is designed to store tea bags and is a worthy alternative to factory boxes. Such a house should have a removable roof, and at the bottom it is necessary to cut through and beautifully decorate the window. Accordingly, bags can be loaded through the top, and it is convenient to get them through the bottom if necessary.

How to make a candlestick in the form of Santa Claus's house?

IN new year holidays It is customary to decorate your home with garlands, candles and light figures. If desired, it is easy to make a luminous New Year's house. The easiest option is to place a part of the garland inside the craft and consider connecting to the network. You can also use an electric candle or any other glowing element on batteries. You can also make a full-fledged candlestick. However, if you have a winter house made of cardboard, you should pay attention to fire safety. Use the smallest "tea" candles; they can only be placed in a figure made of flammable material in heat-resistant glass cups. It makes sense to make a candlestick, focusing on the size of the candle and the stand for it. The souvenir figurine itself should be larger in size and not heat up.

cat house

With your own hands you can make not only small decorative items, but also quite useful things. You may be surprised, but the do-it-yourself craft "Santa Claus's Winter House" can be made as real housing for our smaller brothers. In the New Year's way, you can decorate, for example, a street bird feeder. Of course, decorating with paper and other materials that are afraid of water will have to be abandoned. But you can always use waterproof paints for painting or make a bird feeder of an unusual shape.

An interesting idea is to make a winter house for a cat. Many animals living outside feel the need for warm and dry shelter in cold weather. can be made from various materials- wooden beams, unnecessary boards, chipboard and plywood. Make a box of the right size, insulate it from the inside, and decorate the outside to your taste. The most beautiful house will turn out if you decorate it with a stylized gable roof. If desired, you can paint such a dwelling outside under a Russian hut or a fairy-tale tower. Do not be afraid to create and do the most different crafts using familiar and so cozy images!
